Charlton Athletic (a) Pre Match + Starting XI

[UpTheLeagueFox]

I was at Brum yesterday - Charlton really impressed me, probably should've won it - Kermogant and Wright Phillips weren't that good but they were solid at the back and the captain Jackson ran the show.

Tough game for us on Tuesday.

I agree completely.

Completely different to yesterday's game and we will do well to come away with a point.

Charlton arnt that good, no way Phillips and Kermogant are that much better than Tomlin and Sinclair. If we play the way we did against Peterborough i say we win.

You might be right but yesterday they weren't very effective while the team overall were very good.

Sometimes you get luck in the game, sometimes you don't and yesterday wasn't a lucky day for us.

[Ric Flair]

Beckford will score the winner on Tuesday. 2-1 to us.

I'd give Dyer the gig still as he's more effective away from home anyway. Knockaert can make a difference from the bench until he's settled in.

Danns doesn't seem to be in Nigel's immediate plans as a very ill James was picked over him and King has staked a claim with a superb goal. It'll be interesting to see what happens with Dannzy over the next few weeks.

Can't wait for Tuesday.

If Leeds get taken over I can see Danns going there to join his mate peltier ! warnock loved danns at palace.

[Bob Weasel Fox]

I'd keep the same starting 11.

Whilst we are winning i would agree

Tough game Charlton mind you, top bloke Chrissy P

I am sure you will provide a stern test and we will need to perform very well to walk away with any points. I think this game will be just as tough as Blackburn away against a newly promoted side in their first home fixture.

[Bluetintedspecs]

Team that play well at home, good manager, couple of players who have a point to prove, by all accounts a good performance at Brum so definitely not an easy game! Though I will say Charlton coming at us because they are the home team could play right into our hands we will see

[Happy Fox]

When we press teams up the pitch it pays dividends that is something we need to do get into the opposition faces they won't know what has hit them.

2-0 away win.

Vardy and Konchesky with the goals.

[iamafox]

I wouldn't mind having the same starting XI but if I was the gaffer I would swap James for Kingy and Beckford for Nugent.

That's why you don't leave your leading goalscorers on the bench!

He should no better

[Guest Col city fan]

I sincerely hope that this whole Nugent/Twitter nonsense don't explode out of control.

Football is a squad game. We don't want another player getting pissed off because he's not automatic first choice.

Talking about Lambert coming of the bench for Southampton and scoring I would of thought. Maybe a bit tongue in cheek but so what?

Seems a really damning tweet until you read his next one

@Rust16 who mentioned leicester game?

@DumDumBloke what game u watching? Going on about lambert mate!

That or he's a master of subterfuge.

[ADK]

Nugents always been abit of a WUM.

[Bluetintedspecs]

I would be be gutted if he didn't have a bleat about being on the bench!

[ibbosuk]

Same side again, as changing a winning team would send out the wrong message to the players.

1 - 1

Went down the KP this morning to try and change my tickets for Charlton, but still only go back to row F. Asked how many tickets we had been allocated (2000) and how many we'd sold (just under 1600). However it looks like we'll have a long thin line if tickets only go to row F. 1600 is a decent effort mid week, but not sure the atmosphere will be that good if we are stretched out.

[Poznan34]

I'm so pleased we're back to 7 subs. We have strength in depth.

Same here...

[vandamman]

Definately no change up front, Beckford put in a good shift on saturday and is not deserving a bench place. The only change I could see happening is perhaps Matty James, I heard he quite unwell saturday and if he not 100% I would inclined to swap him with King. Other than that its too early to be rocking the boat with changes, we need to build a team, the others will get their chance soon enough.

[Grewks]

Cannot start a new thread, so i will put this in here.....

I thought everyone claims that JB doesnt have an ego??
